It's funny that all the articles I've recently seen on this insist on talking about the Ring camera thing. After they've put that in headlines, they have a byline far down in the article that says "The Ring violations were from before Amazon acquired the Ring company, and have since been corrected." But saying that up front doesn't really fit the agenda, so it's buried down much further in the article(s).
The violations for keeping Alexa recordings say they are for "children's privacy". So evidently what is alleged to have been done is not a problem for adults. I wonder how they expect Amazon to distinguish a "children's recording" from an "adult recording"?
Maybe Amazon has actually done something wrong here. But the article(s) do sound at least a little fishy. And the media reporting this is certainly not to be trusted. So I am officially neutral at this time. Until more information comes out and is verified (and reported accurately). At this point, I think Amazon may have done something wrong. Or they may not have. I don't normally defend Amazon. I have some of their products, but I am not a fan-boy. But this article, and all the other ones similar to it, sound a little fishy to me. I'm not sure we're dealing with the gospel truth or accurate reporting here...
